The uni that’s actually The strongest semi target(durham) actually has a great nightlife too when you consider the fact it’s a 10 minute train away from Newcastle(which has some of the best clubs in the country if that’s your thing) and at the same time you have the collegiate system  and a huge sporting culture(both uni and college wide). Collegiate system basically adds in another dimension to the possible ways of making friends and having socials and it essentially allows you to get an exposure to competitive sports and all the social  aspect that comes with that, while not having to be good enough to compete in varsity. Easily the best semi target even when considering nightlife, but would not advise if you’re not comfortable with private school posho culture then I would go to notts and maybe bristol(even though a lot of bristol ppl have a similar background to Durham but are just more edgy)

 

I'm being serious, and I'm trying to help you. I appreciate I am being direct, but you should take my advice on board. If your CV and/or cover letter is replete with spelling errors or even grammatical ones, it will get thrown out immediately. This isn't to say that you ought to be writing like Shakespeare, but your original post was barely comprehensible.
